Josin – Traveller (Video)
“The “Traveller” is dedicated to the most important element on this planet; the water, its cycle and continuous flow. Smooth melodies of Classical beauty combined with mesmerizing singing, communicate the message of our absolute bond with this endless journey.”
-Nagamag.com
Josin is (proudly) an artistic exile. A nomad to the confinements of genres as well as traditional norms around lifestyle. Her second single of the year, Traveller, holds a unique, experimental ambience which her voice soars effortlessly above. Traveller isolates unusual emotions with fine-tuned production and captivating lyrical themes.

“Traveller is a about belonging, being lost and returning. Of places we wish to be able to hold on. But the cycle that holds for water, that travels from rivers to oceans to rain, might also be the way we are connected and moving in this space. Being not only surrounded but made from water, we don’t need to feel apart from anything”. – Josin

Despite developing skills in a spectrum of realms, from graphic design to accountancy, Josin felt the inevitable draw to a career in music. Growing up with opera singing parents, Josin’s own musical endeavours pushed her beyond the safety of classical expectations. After rebelling against her very first piano teacher, Josin began to tread a path where she could express her intimate emotions in a more eccentric manner.
“One of my favourite artists in recent years” – Olafur Arnalds
The depths of Josin’s music is something she’s steadily becoming known for. Her last single, The Darkness, was a weighty juxtaposition between life’s ceaseless treadmill and a stagnant feeling within. It came to an eventual recognition of light and love, no matter how immeasurable the darkness can seem. Josin’s debut album, In The Blank Space, saw her fine tune her ability to craft a sound that’s both uncomfortable and comforting, an artistic accomplishment which led to her collaboration with Kiasmos and RY X.

“It’s almost like no single drop can get lost in here. The water just reappears somewhere else and we are strangely feeling so familiar with new places and other beings. And who knows for how long we´ve been going and coming back again. Maybe, it´s for us to let go and release ourselves to the flow of these old forces in order to accept moving being part of belonging.” – Josin

This song is our take on how it must feel having a Martini in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) whilst a falling star is streaking across the sky.

Uto Paradise is a Zurich-based bunch of instrumentalists having a rather hard time ever since trying to get by without a lead singer. It is a well-known fact, tough, at least since Khruangbin, that lead singing became a »qualité négligeable«. Rejoicing over this dictate of the moment and seizing the opportunity, Uto Paradise displays a groovy panoply of instrumental indie-jazz paired with comforting ambient elements.

Chris Roe – Cliffs – Exclusive Track from the After Love Soundtrack | BFI (Video)
“Deeply moving, this soundtrack for ‘After Love’ by Chris Roe is all about the divine performance of cellist Alice Purton. Alice takes on the main theme, her part representing the motion of the waves. The score is brilliant in its simplicity, the supporting instruments and sound effects subtly adding to the coastal atmosphere. A wonderful piece of music.”
-Nagamag.com
The soundtrack to #AfterLove is out now featuring original score from award-winning composer Chris Roe.

“Scoring After Love was a dream project for me, and was intensely collaborative from start to finish,” said Roe. “Aleem and I worked closely with sound designer Joakim Sundström to blend the score and soundtrack together, and I was lucky enough to work with phenomenal cellist and improviser Alice Purton to explore how the cello could mimic the sounds of the sea and build the entire score just from one instrument.”
Roe’s music for After Love won Best Original Score at the Les Arcs Film Festival. It follows Roe’s highly praised work on Armstrong, Spitfire and Children of the Snow Land – just three of his thirty screen credits since 2014.
The immensely moving feature debut from BAFTA-nominated director Aleem Khan, After Love premiered to great acclaim at the BFI London Film Festival in 2020 and was an official selection for Cannes Critics’ Week and the Telluride Film Festival.
After Love open in cinemas across the UK since Friday 4 June 2021.
